CHOCSTAR SECRET SUPPER CLUB: PETRA GOES ON TOUR

As you know, Dos Hermanos is usually about, well Dos Hermanos. Our hopes, our dreams and our valiant battle towards world peace or a decent Martini, which ever comes first.

Occasionally however, we do like to give a little mention to out chums in this crazy world we call “Blogdom” when there is something interesting happening or they give us free stuff.

Well, what could be more interesting that having a smokin’ hot babe with a predilection for high heeled boots trundling up to your front door, or indeed your back passage with a van full of chocolaty comestibles?

That’s right, Petra “Chocstar” Barran, DH's favourite "Queen of The Cocao" is going on the road and is looking for invitations to bring Jimmy, her ramshackle but reliable old jalopy, to all corners of the UK so she can see what you are all up to. In return you get chance to taste what those of us, in the know, in London have been raving about for the last couple of years.

Her Venezuelan hot chocolate is the best in town bar none. The thick milkshakes with a Maltezer on top are almost as good and I suspect there is a law being drawn up by lardy people everywhere against her addictive brownies.

She hopes to get out on the road in April for at lest three months. So, why not get in touch with her by e-mail (feedme@chocstar.co.uk) check out her website or join the Facebook group she has already set up for the trip?

Right. Enough of her travelling adventures, I am going back to my own little odyssey.

What The Papers Say

"If sites were shops egullet would be Selfridges, a massive department store trying to cater to all tastes. Sometimes, though, I want a boutique operation. Top of these is Dos Hermanos, the blog of the two half-Bengali half-Welsh Majumdar brothers, who eat out more than is strictly necessary and write very well about it." Jay Rayner (Guardian)

Our fans speak

"these guys are the don daddas of London eating blogging" viktorvaughn

"Simon M and his bro. have got to be the rock gods of the UK food blog" Harters

"What a pair of idiots you two are - who asked your opinion and for your tedious website to appear when i googled this restaurant!" Galloping Gourmet
